Our summer together coming to an end,
the boat dropped us off just over a
kilometer from the dock.
Descending to 30 feet, masks sealed and
ears clearing,
we put the reef on our left shoulder and
began the ride back.

Sea conditions were calm, but clarity
was marginal. Visibility of 10-15 feet
only occurred because our tanks and u/w
scooters were bright yellow.
But our breathing remained calm and steady as
our bikes hummed along.

In an hours time we popped up at the
dock and checked our remaining
air-supply.
My Aspergers buddy had 100 psi just
short of half a tank ...
500 psi 'more' than his old man.
